The location is perfect - just off a side street (so very quiet) and 2 min walk to centre of Tenby and the beach. The parking spot was fine for our small car and easy to manoeuvre despite the tightness of the car park. The apartment was overall good, with a good quality bed and bedding and clean. We did find the tiny mugs, bowls and towels comical so purchased new ones for our stay! We were lucky we picked a sunny week but despite this it is not the warmest of flats so we did have to use the heaters at times. The TV is smart but the remote doesn't work very well (not batteries as tried new ones). It was just the two of us but we would also recommended for a family of four (with a small car).

The property is ideally situated in the centre of Tenby and having its own parking space is a definite bonus. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and really enjoyed our week.

The kitchen and bathroom are worn and need an upgrade. Kitchen generally well stocked though. Hot water situation very difficult especially with chicken. You need to remember to boost the emersion and the hot water comes out as a trickle. Takes at least half an hour to run a bath for each child and not enough hot water supply to run multiple baths for multiple children. Takes a good 5 mins to run enough water for washing up. Television/ remote for TV are faulty so navigating the menu and using it very difficult. Parking was a complete nightmare. The spaces are too small for the average size car especially when you consider the apartments are advertised for 5 people, so no one is going to be bringing a tiny vehicle. I was blocked in by another resident for a large part of my stay so couldnât leave Tenby, which was very frustrating. I wouldnât return to this apartment block or recommend this accommodation because of the parking issues and lack of on-demand hot water.
